Hollybush Estate
The Hollybush and Teesdale Estate Urban Growers project began in April 2009 in Rocky Park – a disused children’s play area. Now enjoyed by the whole community, the area includes seats and communal herb beds for all to use.

Background to the task

We have been frequent visitors to the Hollybush Estate over the last year.

The gardening group of the Teesdale and Hollybush Tenants and Residents Association (TRA) in Bethnal Green have been turning unused areas of this large estate into community gardens for many years!

One garden, Rocky Park, offers free plots where residents can grow their own fruit and vegetables.

In today’s activity we will be working with Margaret and Ash on the creation of the new residents’ growing site.

Tonight's task

  • We'll meet in Ellsworth Street for 7pm, head around the corner to Rocky Park where Margaret and Ash from the Estate's gardening will introduce us to tonight's task.

  • Tasks are likely to include: shifting and turning soil, clearing garden space and weeding.

  • There will be tasks suitable for all fitness levels.


How are you getting there?
